Q: restore a macbook pro snow leopard to factory specs

purchased a new Air; used Time Machine from my Pro to the Air, and now I need to reset the Pro to factory specs so I can sell it.  The Pro is still on the latest version of Snow Leopard 10.6.8.    How do I do this restore?  What I've found on YouTube doesn't work; when I reboot from "off" holding down the Option key -- my only option is to click on the Mac HD.   any help appreciated. 

MacBook Pro (13-inch Mid 2009), Mac OS X (10.6.8)

Hi, Acxiombill. 

 

I believe you are asking how to erase and install Mac OS X 10.6.  Here is the article that walks you through the process.
